It seems that most Tahitians own scooters rather than cars. They are cheaper and easier to maintain than cars but quicker than a bicycle. They usually run about $54 USD for 24 hours. They have two or three places to rent from, but we only rented from Fare Piti because they had an office at our hotel. They are safe, fun, and slow. They don't go over 60km (37mph). Oh, and yes, helmets are required.
